I am sure somebody here can locate the pics.
Cant' wait for the 6speed auto FWD app. and the 6 speed auto RWD app.

If you type "Impala SS with LS1 engine" in the search window, you'll find some more links with pictures of the car.

It shows pics of the prototype car at the Oshawa plant. The engine compartment sure looks cramped to me. Thanks for your suggestion!
Why GM can't get this right, I'll never understand. Someone/some folks need to lose thir job for these kinds of mis-steps...
You only get one chance to make a first impression. In GM's case, it's with the auto mags and writers. Reviewers won't revisit the '07 just due to the addition of a new tranny, which should provide not only better performance, but also better EPA ratings. And those are things people WILL notice.
Also, any word on 6-spd auto FWD-transaxle applications?
I would like to know what the real world value a 6sp has over a 5sp?
GM cant provide a 6 speed when it doesnt have one. It's only alternative would be to outsource the tranny and I dont know that there are any 6 speeds available for FWD cars with this much power. Audi has 6 speeds in it's cars including the A6 V8 but I dont know where that comes from. Beyond that I don't know of any FWD 6 speeds than can handle the 5.3V8 or even the 3.9V6 for that matter. GM doesn't outsource many trannies for some reason. If you want a 6 speed right now get a 500 with 203hp. Speaking of incomplete cars, why coudln't Ford have a better V6 available at launch?
As for "blowing the Impala out of the water". I am 100% sure the Impala will cost thousands less and have a very similar interior in terms of quality. I have seen the interior of the new vans vs the Sienna and the quality is almost identical. Toyota's quality advantage gap is getting close to zero over GM with many new models.
I'm guessing fall but..
Were you able to sit in one at the auto show? I heard the seats are supposed to be better.
Nice profile and interior though. Pretty sad.
